Trivia (3)

She and then husband Dustin Hoffman once lived on West 11th Street in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. The couple's anonymity was abruptly shattered in March 1970 when the house next door exploded and caught fire due to a gas leak. It wasn't long before the block was crawling with fire engines, police cars, TV crews and reporters, most of whom had more on their minds than the actual fire. Investigators shortly discovered that the explosion was not caused by a gas leak as first thought but actually by the accidental ignition of a stockpile of weapons in the building next door. The radical group The Weather Underground had been living there, preparing for their next attack. An unusually-shaped window on the front of the building now memorializes the explosion.
